First Winter Snow Storm | Living In A Van| Vanlife Europe
In this van life travel vlog, we get stuck in a snowstorm in Austria whilst living in the van with @JitsIntoTheSunset !Winter vanlife so far has been quite easy but this week we see the problems with van life when in sub-zero temperatures. We start the travel vlog with some of the top things to do in Austria. We visit the Dachstein Skywalk, Hallein Salt Mine and go sledding for the first time in Ramsau am Dachstein. Then the weather dropped to -18 and a blizzard came in leaving us snowed in until a snow plow came to the rescue!

⭐ About Travel Beans:
Welcome to the official Travel Beans RUclips channel! On this channel, you’ll find a variety of travel and vlog content, in which you’ll see us in places like Thailand, Japan, USA, Slovenia, and more.
In 2017 we left home with just £500 in our bank account and a dream to make a sustainable travel lifestyle happen! We are now living our dream as digital nomads and want to inspire you to create your own story, whatever it may be!
After 5 years of aimless, yet enjoyable, backpacking around the world we found ourselves in New York City battling with depression. At this point, we decided to go home and confront this problem head-on. After 6 tough months at home we decided to go away again, but this time with a goal in mind.. to turn travel into a lifestyle.
Our time spent battling depression has influenced our outlook on life dramatically! We are now traveling the world in search of what makes us happy. In our vlogs, we talk openly and honestly about our travel experiences, the digital nomad life and depression. We hope our videos can help to inspire you to create a life that makes you happy!

I have to ask do you have a set of chains for the van in case the roads get too icy ?
13:42 well that answered that thx guys 😂
The van looks soooo cosy n warm
A de icer works wonders on keyholes and sliding doors, on all ages of vehicles. 🦋
Oh my goodness!! This has made us feel so warm and fuzzy inside 🥰 We absolutely LOVED every minute of our time together. 2.5 weeks flew by! It’s all just a whirlwind of snowy adventures, cooking & eating together, endless chats, belly laughs and so much love that cameras could never capture 😘 We miss you already and can’t wait til we see each-other again!!! BEANS OUT!! 💛 xxx T
Happy new year to the Jits!! Looking forward to seeing your upcoming!!! Hugs!
SO sweet &I loved when you were waving out the window for the "thumbnail shot!" So cute & what a beautiful backdrop?! You guys are very lucky to be fulfilling your dreams beside the 1 you love!
Oh Emma....when the times in your life come that are a little sad or frustrating, promise me you will watch the clip of you sledding down the hill. The joy and happiness and silliness are priceless.
Yes! I thought the same lol!
She’s lovely ☺️
Well said Kelley✌️🙏
What a lovely comment, i promise I will 😍🙏
Best video yet guys, i travelled on my own a lot many years ago, and met my now wife 20 years ago, we had many plans with our mazda bongo but unfortunately at 65 i have been diagnosed with Parkinsons , so we cant follow our real dreams, but for now we can still make hay while the sun shines, keep doing what you do . It brings a lot of joy to people like me . Peace and love John & Moll xx
Hope you have many fun times John x
Watching brits trying to cope with a hint of winter is allways entertaining. You teach us to marvel at things we have taken for granted since we had skis put on our feet as two-year-olds.
Hey there, another Canadian here (from Nova Scotia). That is just a “few flurries” for us but it was wonderful to see how excited you were by the snow!!
I was thinking the same. It’s not a big snow but the child like enthusiasm had me grinning ear to ear.
Another tip - if it's going to snow overnight, leave your wipers up so they don't get crusted. That way when it's time to put them down and get wiping as you drive, the wipers will have uniform contact with the windscreen surface - very important for winter visibility!
This is good to know, thank you!
You must live in upstate New York lol just kidding that’s def something we do around here in the winter as well it’s a very good tip!
Looks fun as hell guys! Make sure you keep the exhaust of your diesel heater clear from snow build up! Have fun!!!!
Was about to say the same about the heater exhaust and the van exhaust 👍
You need to invest in some cans of de-icer and keep one with you if you go out for any length of time, no point having the cans in the van and you two frozen outside. Don't force any of the handles or most likely things will break. If you can park up on the flat I would leave the handbrake off too because sometimes this can freeze on. Just leave the van in gear. When I was your age I did several winters in Northern B.C. One Christmas it was minus 49 and the snow was frozen like rock. Great film, you're like the William and Kate (HRH) of independent travel!
Hello from cold and snowy Michigan. Here at our house, we carry a small can of "lock de-icer" for situations like this. Glad you are enjoying the snow. I enjoy it too, but if it is still snowing in March or April, I am pretty much over it.
Another Michigan girl here! Every season is beautiful in Michigan but the winters become dreadful at a certain point. Maybe you’d like our channel and wouldn’t mind checking it out! ☺️ Only if you want to!
I live in the Northern Canadian Rocky Mountain region...what you guys experienced for snow is what we call a skiff...and -18 is nice and cozy....try -40!!....as far as collaborations...Eamon and Bec...Kara and Nate...Kinging It...Vanwives just to name a few....you guys are awesome!!
Those would be great collaborations
I'm from Scotland and it's still childs play! We get that much snow several times every year! The first time I went to Austria(1984) we had 5m fell in a week. The Austrians piled it up at the side of the streets till it reached the shop roofs and created a cozy tunnel that you could walk along out of the snow and wind. Those cute alpine buildings are actually practical...
It is quite cute that this is alot of snow for you guys! As a Canadian, that's just a normal winter day haha 🥰
Canadians here! Today, in the center of Manitoba. Canada, it is -23 C, feels like -27 C with the wind chill. It is actually warming up.....lol. It has been very cold the last couple of weeks hitting -40 C with the wind chill a lot of days. We are used to it, complain, but it doesn't get us anywhere. I just count the days till spring! While we are not winter lovers, we do love a beautiful snowfall, and the beauty it brings, so we can still appreciate it. It was nice to see your excitement, and see it through fresh eyes. Seeing & hearing the absolute joy in Emma sliding down that hill was PRICELESS! Not sure we would be brave enough to do it in a van, so good for you guys! Loved the video!
I'm in Minnesota, USA. That is a wet snow that hovers around freezing. Turns to ice when the temp drops. I actually feel warmer when the temp drops to where the snow stays frozen, and I'm insulated. It's that wet cold that seeps into every pore. So, you can't really compare that to the extreme cold, which is its own beast.
@RD I feel lonely sometimes, but I generally don't mind being alone.
Me, a Canadian: aw thats cute lol. Also the snow is slushy because it's not that cold so it's melting. I always love seeing others get excited over snow for the first time, it truly is beautiful.
The trick to thaw a frozen lock is to pee on it or pee on the key to warm it, easier for Alex than Emma. A bigger problem is the door freezing to the door seal, it will tear it if forced open. Wiping it over with Vaseline or Glycerine stops it from freezing stuck. Did neither of you toboggan down a hill on a tea tray as kids?
Glycerine doesn’t work too well . I am yet to try with vaseline .
I loved watching Emma on a sled, pure joy!
From Canada. Done with the snow. Couldn’t care less to see another snowflake for the rest of my days. I should mention that as I type this message out, it is -22C with a windshield factor of -31C. Having said that, it was nice to see it through your eyes.
It is charming to see your childlike wonder at a simple snowfall.
Bean waiting for this all day 🤣 did you see what I did there 🙈🤣
Another fantastic vid with the snow and all that. But I've come to realise that you two are now the best personalities on the tube. You're travels and adventures are great to watch but it's the interplay of your personalities that sets you apart. You've hit the sweet spot for this sort of thing Beans. Long may it continue.
Those definitely look like the good old days! Don't forget these times. Drink in every moment. I'm 50 next month, and still think I celebrated the millennium new year a couple of years ago. In similar conditions. Loved your Winter with The Jitz! Can't wait to see where your van life takes you next!
As an Austrian I like to see that you enjoyed your stay here. I wish you good luck for your future travels!
Mint vid, I’m so jealous! Definitely get some thermal curtains or thermal window covers, it makes a massive difference. Hurry up and make another vid! What snow tyres are you using?✌️✌️🥶🥶🥶🥶❤️🏁🏁🏁
I'm surprised they didn't do that when they prepped the van tbh as thermal coverings also help in hot weather 🤷♀️
Oh its so good. View of Mountains full of snow. View from bridge is superb. Loved it.
Aw, this was lovely! What lovely adventures you went on. Beautiful sights. 🤩
I love how much fun you had sledging! 🛷
So nice to be able to share in your adventures during the cold, dark Scottish evenings 😊
Its this kind of thing that makes RUclips for me,..and what a charming couple they are.
another Canadian here. We just finished having 2 weeks of -30c. On the positive, its always sunny at that temp. At -30, you get exhaust fog when a group of cars all start from a stop at the same time. And frozen flat spots on your tires.
Read your instructions about the chains. Most come with a speed restriction.
Lock deicer .. kept on your person. A bottle stored in the glove box does not help when you are outside. A quick hack .. use a lighter on the key, warm it up then put it in quickly. A frozen lock means there is moisture in it. So a warm key may melt it, at some point you will need a lock deicer to disperse the moisture.
Safe travels.
Thank you for making a big deal of the snow. I'm from Australia so you very much expressed how I'd feel if I was there. Only really experienced snow when I lived in South Korea but kept falling over in it (and the ice) all the time (on sidewalks / footpaths I mean). You're so right, it's great for 5 minutes (or in the comfort of your home looking out a window) but walking in it - totally different story.
As a heat intolerant Aussie, I LOVE the snow and it’s a huge novelty. There aren’t many places here that get it, where I live included. Canada is my favourite place in the world for the climate, mountains and snow. Glad you got to make the most of the gorgeous views!
Sometimes it takes a bunch of Brits to remind me how beautiful the country is that I get to live in. Thanks for that and greetings from Austria to - well - Austria!
Canadian viewer here, the answer is yes Alex this is not really that much snow for us. But we deal with this every year so we have all the stuff we need to handle it, both with our homes, cars, and general infrastructure. It's great that you are getting to experience some real winter! and really good call on the winter tires.
I think you should collab with Indigo Traveller next. Just putting that out there.
I 2nd/3rd the lock deicer. In a county with that much snow I'd expect to find it in any gas station. If it gets REALLY cold (-25 maybe), fuel line de-icer/antifreeze. A must in my 80s VW in Northern Ontario. Lastly, a compact snow shovel. That would have gotten you out of that park up pronto. Snow can be fun, unless you're in a hurry.
I went to a salt mine whilst staying in Berchestesgaden in southern Germany. Not automated like yours, but to drop down into the depths meant sitting on sleds and sliding down icey slopes. To get back to surface meant climbing many stairs. You can't beat seeing so many mountains and wonderful scenery in Austria, Switzerland and Bavaria. I went to see the Eagles Nest, Hitler's hide out perched on the top of a mountain. Access was thankfully by an elevator to a restaurant perched high up with magnificent views.
If you line your living space with emergency foil blankets you can make a significant difference in the insulation if you are suffering the cold.
Emma your laugh reminds me so much of the laugh of the late Sid James, always a joy to watch your travel and van videos... keep up the good work and take care x
Childhood memories of cars and snow: Lots of swearing from my dad, while my mother sat still and refused to get out of the car stuck in snow 😅
I think the combination of heavy snow and heavy winds creates the most surprises. I have found my car covered in snow after a day of mountain skiing once. We only spotted the front windshield. Driving in 10-20 cm of fresh snow I have done several times. But older cars were more suited to that. 70 and 80ies cars. Volvos, Mazdas, Toyotas, Chevrolets and a Buick. Modern cars are all low riders and get bogged down.
You need to buy a roll of bubblewrap for your windows inside. Cut it to size, spray glass with water which will hold the bubblwrap on. It will save heat loss and freezing water on the inside... no condensation on glass normal winter weather... very cheap . haven't tested it in -18 but it's worth a test try on one window.
Absolutely stunning views, I loved the gondola and the platform you walked along, the salt mine, infact all of it. Amazing mountain views. ❤ safe journey to all.
Thanks for always bringing holidays and adventures to my living room!
Although it has been for as long as I can remember, I just wanted to say the production quality of your videos is great. TV-worthy for sure.
It’s fun to see people enjoying the snow after 40+ years of living in Canada 🇨🇦 I’m over the snow and cold. We’ve had snow flurries off and on since December so no big dumps of snow but it will be super cold tonight and freezing tomorrow so not fun. Enjoy the rest of your trip.
Hey you guys, I’m in Stalybridge, Cheshire. We had it worse than that 4 weeks ago. You southerners are softies hahaha. Great video as always can’t wait for the next.
I have to say, props to you for driving "on the Continent" (as I once heard it described by one of our UK friends). I've driven on both sides, but each time with the corresponding proper placement of the steering wheel. When we lived in The Netherlands, there was a temptation to take our car across to the UK, but I couldn't quite get my head around being way over on the "wrong" side. Well, "wrong" from the point of view of where our steering wheel was. Carry on!
Fantastic video, brought back some childhood memories of sledging in the late 60's when it used to snow in the UK and that was Suffolk! Best sledge was an old tin tray from the local pub just nuts hacking down the slopes of our local castle. Amazingly with no major injuries.
When you get a chance (warmer area) use WD40 in the door locks. You’ll need to use light oil after the WD but should help prevent locks freezing up.
Vaseline on door seals will help prevent them sticking
I love snow. It's when it is -49 C that winter is not fun (yes, I'm Canadian and that was the temperature yesterday). And that was not a blizzard - your van was not covered in 5 feet of snow ;) But it is so cute, watching you experience real winter and snow for the first time. We don't get that wet snow - ours is drier/powder snow. It only looks like that in the spring. You also need to try snow tubing as those sleds were cute but lacked any real speed. Insider secret: none of us can control or steer a sled - you just get on and go! Have fun
I am. scottish and have had my fair share of very hard winter weather. We had years Back a foot of snow. Power cuts
Had to put teacher up for the night from our highschool ,shopping done by sleigh as roads were totally blocked
But we had so much fun like with sledding down the hills beside us .
Heating pan of bake beans in the ashes of our fire at home ,making toast ( power was out for quite a few days ) .
But living in Europe now i seen some snow very heavy ,and the different affects it brings to live in general .
We had - 23 few years back We were the coldest place in the country that night 🤦♀️. my oldest son did the morning papers its was crazy .
Brilliant video really enjoyed your min Road trip with jilts 🥰
Looking forward to to where your off to next 😜
Maybe meet up with Eamon & Bec
Safe travels 🥰
It’s so amusing watching two versions of a journey or trip. I watched this and the one of Jits into the Sunset.
I'm in awe, teary eyes actually seeing that landscapes, it's so beautiful...
As an American I found it funny that you were amazed by icicles and a few inches of snow. It was cute. Like a couple of little kids.
So good guys!! Well done!! Loved watching back our time together! Maaaan it was so cold! 😂🥶 I'm proud I got to partake in the 'Beans Out', I can now retire from RUclips as a success.
It sure is fun watching you two enjoy the snow.
I don't miss it at all.
I lived in northern Illinois for decades! Yes, that was pretty mild snow! Hate the snow now! Moved to the south when I was getting ready to retire, love it!
Jits, Kinging it, Kara & Nate, Eamon & beck
And flying the nest ❤
This video made us both smile so much! So much child-like joy which is amazing to see. Even being from Virginia (USA) I feel like I was used to much more snow but it's q lot nicer when you get as much as you did and it's easily plowed! Everything would shut down for 2 days until roads could be properly cleared! About a week before our wedding in mid-March it dumped 50+ cm and our car was under 1 meter of snow due to the snow plows 😂 We can laugh now, but it left us a bit on edge then. Safe travels, you two! 🤗
With overtourism and climate change presenting challenges to our global community, I think this travel destination is more relevant than ever. As travelers, we should keep our footprints at a minimum, in order to best preserve the world’s cultural and natural treasures for generations to come.
Throught your videos,we are travelling in amazing places and really appreciate you for that!!!!
THE BEANS ARE BACK Y'ALL 🍾🥂🍻🚛❄️ TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW.
So glad you’re having a great adventure!! Thank you for sharing with us! The views are spectacular. Stay safe and warm!!!!
Wow, this soo brings back memories! The Dachstein is kind of part of the 'back yard' of where I grew up! To answer your question at the end: I love snow! I grew up learning to ski at age 6. In winter we often 'Nordic skied' to school and back (1 1/2 miles each way). Loved this video!
What an episode, great content, keep up the good work!
So Happy am sat in a warm house with a cuppa, watching your fantastic traveling, little cold thou.
I like to think I'd enjoy that much snow and cold but I think I'm lying to myself. I enjoy watching other people brave it though.
Another great video, so fun! I like being able to go to the snow, not have the snow come to me - drive up into the mountains and spend the day playing in it then drive back down to warm weather :) Stay safe out there!
Back in the 90s I did a cicle the Baltic expedition in a 1971 Range Rover, self conatined but with a blocked heater matrix. One night I slept on the Finnish/Russian border in -35c with no heater. My sub-zero Everest bag kept me alive...diesel heater what a bunch of whimps..LOL
Being a hardy Ontarian, I can honestly say this is nothing comparatively speaking, just everyday life in Canada in the winter but watching you beans experience it is pretty funny. Get yourself a can of lock de icer and some thermal window coverings. It currently -33 today!
Love this video! Love the snow and love you all! Lol you have all been so great to see on this adventure! I would love to see you calab with sooooo many other tubers it isn't even funny! Some you already have and would love to see again like winging it with Ash, The endless adventure, Flying the nest, Kara and Nate, Deana and Phil, and Kinging It would be hilarious! Would love to see jitz on again of course! There are so many to mention! These of course are some of my top faves!
You guys gotta collab with Kingin It! That would be a hilarious video.
Yes, this an average Canadian winter 😂 But how fun for you to experience it! Stay safe!
You reminded me of the time we were drinking Glühwein in Salzberg at -20C, outside!!! It was bracing, to be polite.
The trees are absolutely beautiful with all the snow on them! from NYC here in the states and have had a few 20+ inch snow storms/blizzards and it's so pretty but like Alex said it gets mushy and pretty nasty quick living here in the city.
This video made us smile! Watching you all sledding was for sure the highlight of this video. Glad y’all are having so much fun! Thanks for sharing it with us
Buy some bubble wrap to cover the windows on the inside, all the heat is lost through the windows. x
I’m with Al…..10 minutes of snow is probably enough. Looks picture perfect, then get out😳
I absolutely LOVE this video of yours, it was so much fun to watch you and Jits, especially the sledding scenes! I'm also liking all the tips in the comments section on how to deal with frozen locks, etc. My husband and I have lived in mild climate areas all our lives and will be moving to an area that actually gets some snow. We've both driven a little in the snow before on vacations, but hardly at all and definitely not as much as you all experienced! One thing that I would recommend though that we bought that has helped for times when our windows get iced over is getting a proper window scraper. Not the kind you have which is really meant for water and condensation, but an actual hard plastic scraper.
I can't think of a better word to describe this video other than the one you guys used to describe the snow, Magical. In fact the whole Austrian series has been Magical. Cheers!
Ohhhhhhhhh. Did the poor Beans get four inches of fluffy powder snow? Oh no!!!!!!!! "Snowed in" my patootie! LOL
You guys do live in a country where you get weather like this in winter, its called Scotland, anyone from South of Manchester cannot believe we get very cold, very snowy weather up here in Scotland, not just for a day or so, but weeks on end. Come up in the winter (but buy some snow chains for the highlands) and enjoy the beautiful scenery. D
Loved your video and how enthusiastic you were. I'm from Denver, Colorado, USA (mile high city) and snow is snow. Just be careful of any black ice on the roads.
What a fun group. I hate snow which is why I live in Hawaii. The salt mine with the slides looked super cool. Great video and views as always! Lots of aloha!
Snowed in… blizzard… Guys, that is a regular Thursday 🇫🇮 I thought you were window-deep in snow. 😂 Love the video though 👌
Funny to see you cheering because this bit of snow ! 😀
Morning coffee shot is postcard-worthy and then some.
The snow is so Beautiful!
Thanks for the video 🧡🧡🧡 Was a bit behind but played catch up this weekend. The snow is just something else and those views 😍
What a beautiful video ! Thanks for sharing my dear friend, stay connected, looking forward to more updates 💛
Love watching you guys, we live in the UK and are in our mid 60's and when we were younger that was just a light snowfall, we've walked to school in deeper and scraped ice off the inside of the windows in the house 😂😂😂
Catching up on all your videos! You guys are so fun to watch on your adventures.
I go each January to Kirchhoff near kitzbuhel locals open their windows jus as arriving anywhere to get rid of the moist breathe air to stop the interior ice. Great food and drink there, love Austria.
normal coolant antifrezze, best applied with a syringe from a pharmacie into the lock is the best against freezing them up. It can also be used to rub down the rubber seals around doors and windows, preventing those from freezing on the opposite frame or the glass and breaking.
Go ahead
Live your dreams and life too
Nice tour of white weather
Love your content. That is just a dusting of snow. Keep up the good work.
Definitely child's play. From northern Ontario where it is minus 30 tonight this is a normal winter day
Reminds me of my childhood when we had great snow in winter or the time I spend in Switzerland. I was in Austria and Italy in the Alps many times but not in winter. Yes, I love snow, don't get any here in Cork, Ireland. too bad. Have to travel again. I love snow, not skiing, but sledge riding.
Having had the issue of frozen locks old trick heat key up (mind you don't get close to the plastic top) and try it in lock gently turn the key back and forth once free spray WD-40 in DO NOT ATTEMPT TOO FORCE THE LOCK OR YOU COULD SNAP THE KEY once you have the door open spray the door rubber's with WD-40 silicon oil.
Under no circumstances force locks or doors.
Thank you from America. Facing an eastern seaboard winter storm as I type. Beautiful trip you had. Stay safe.
I was watching this in my lovely warm home but actually felt shivery watching how cold you were there!! Looks so beautiful.
amazing it's just so many smiles per mile
